What about a "comments are worth reading" rating? I'm commonly obsessive-compulsive about feeling the need to read comments, to make sure I'm not missing anything.
This different overall comments rating would make it easier for busy people to find only the comment threads/collections really worth reading.

So, pun threads and memes? And the occasional insightful and worthy top comment.

The web brings you the world, and I can't think of anything better than people thinking about it, writing about it, and having a dialog. It engages the mind, shares insights, and people like "talking."

So, completely off-topic, but this feels necessary to share. The Snoop gif and "Black Session" by Katatonia are perfectly in time with each other. Just happened to be listening to it when I clicked on the gif and my mind has been blown. Well not really, but it was cool.

I can image it from the very beginning...
"Okay guys we've got a run-in-the-mill high school chemistry teacher who learns he has lung cancer. We've got 5 seasons to end with him getting killed by Nazis. Start writing!!!"

Apparently when they started the show they had no idea how it was going to end, just that Walt would die.

Gus and Mike were never intended to have big roles. Vince just liked Jonathan Banks' character at the end of season 2 and decided to give him a name and bring him into the foreground. Giancarlo Esposito just asked for a larger role and I guess Vince liked his acting/character and gave it to him. And let's not forget Jesse, who was supposed to be killed off at the end of season 1, but Vince saw how amazing of an actor Aaron Paul was and decided to kill off No Doze instead.

He's still on the writing team for all of those episodes, wikipedia just lists the head writer per episode. Also as the showrunner, Vince tells the writers what he wants to happen each season and they help him get there.

Exactly. If you watch the Breaking Bad Writer's Room timelapse (sadly it seems to be taken down from YouTube) the hard part and most time consuming of writing is coming up with the story and involves half a dozen writers, with Vince at the helm. Writing it down in the end is then a straight forward task some of the other writers do.

Unless I am wrong the producer touch more the business and administrative side. He is the one who put the team together and make sure they all have what they need. Well he doesn't necessarily does it himself but he is kind of the CEO. The director touch more the artistic side he is the one who directly manage the movie/TV episode and can push in one or another direction the actors.

I had a really hard time to picture him as another character besides Hal. Specially with the very first episode, his gestures, his talking, how he was only in his whites on the first episode, how he ran. Everything seemed like Hal a few years down the road.

It wasn't until season 2 or 3 when I accepted he wasn't Hal and I'm still not so sure.

Here is the thing that slays me: He dressed like this for either the first episode of Season 2, Season 3, or second half of Season 5. Those three episodes are absolutely gripping to watch, and basically setting the theme and mood for the entire season/end of the series.

That he looked THIS REDICULOUS/AWESOME and still got compelling performances out of the actors, even if he only wore it for one day on set, speaks volumes for the cast and crew.

Jodhpurs are sometimes worn as fashion clothing, not only for riding. In popular culture, jodhpur-style breeches worn with tall boots became particularly associated with military staff officers who wore uniforms based on riding apparel, often derived from the cavalry tradition from which many nations historically drew their corps of top commanders. The style thus came to be associated with authority figures in general and was copied by certain Hollywood movie directors.

I recently saw a picture of the founder of my company (founded at the turn of the century) from the late 1800's at a conference in Berlin. He was the only one with a monocle. Needless to say, I was proud.
